Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t worry! You can substitute the sirloin steak with flank steak, and if gorgonzola isn’t your favorite, blue cheese makes a fine alternative.
Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, season the steak strips with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the gorgonzola and parmesan cheeses until smooth and creamy.
- Return the steak to the skillet, allowing it to soak up the sauce’s flavors for about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
